These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Our analysis confirms this domain is a direct clone of the Marriott website, designed to deceive users. It has been identified as the sender of fraudulent emails promising 'thank-you gifts' to recent hotel guests. Multiple security engines, including Abusix, alphaMountain.ai, and Fortinet, have flagged the domain for spam and malicious activity. The site lacks any legitimate business registration and is part of a wider network of suspicious domains using the .living extension. There is no evidence of legitimate operation, and the infrastructure is tied to known phishing patterns.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is a technical clone of marriott.com, designed to look identical to the official hotel portal. It uses this branding to lure victims into providing sensitive information under the guise of a loyalty reward or gift.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on an IP address (198.62.5.172) with a history of abuse reports. It lacks an SSL certificate, which is a major red flag for any site claiming to represent a global hospitality brand.

Domain History

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with hirednice.living

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
